Reds signed RHP Loek Van Mil to a minor league contract.
The 7'1 native of the Netherlands, has struggled to find consistency over seven seasons in the minor leagues. Still just 28-years-old, he possesses tremendous stuff and could crack the major league bullpen if he improves his command. Fri, Dec 21, 2012 07:46:00 PM

Loek Van Mil - S - Reds

Indians acquired RHP Loek Van Mil from the Angels for future cash considerations.

Van Mil has registered an ugly 6.30 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 10 innings this season at the Triple-A level. The 7-foot-1 right-hander may struggle to ever reach the bigs.

Loek Van Mil - S - Reds

Angels sent RHP Loek Van Mil outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Acquired from the Twins in the Brian Fuentes trade last year, the 7-foot-1 right-hander held a 2.04 ERA, 6.2 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 66 1/3 innings at Double-A in 2011. At 27 and having never pitched above Double-A, Van Mil is running out of time in his quest to become the tallest player in history to appear in a MLB game.

Loek Van Mil - S - Reds

Angels acquired RHP Loek Van Mil from the Twins to complete the Brian Fuentes trade.

Van Mil was just designated for assignment on Saturday. At 7-foot-1, he is currently the tallest player in baseball, but his results have fallen short of respectability with a 6.37 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 29 2/3 innings this season at Double-A New Britain.

Loek Van Mil - S - Reds

Twins designated RHP Loek Van Mil for assignment.

The move opened a 40-man roster spot for new big-league reliever Brian Fuentes. Van Mil, 26 in September, has posted a pitiful 6.37 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 29 2/3 innings this season at Double-A New Britain. With those kind of numbers, he won't draw very much interest from opposing teams.
